Start Date: ASAP

Contract Type: Full-time, Ongoing (Monday to Friday, Term Time Only)

We are seeking a confident, people-focused individual to take the first step in their school career as a School Administrator.

Protocol Education is working with a fantastic school in Washington that requires a new School Administrator to join their friendly office team.

This opportunity is perfect for someone who is bubbly, proactive, and organised – even if they don't have previous school admin experience.

If you've worked in customer service, retail, hospitality, or similar roles, and are looking for a change, this could be a great transition into a rewarding career within education.

About the Role:

This is a full-time position in a busy and supportive school office.

You'll be the first point of contact for visitors and parents, helping to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere in the school.

You'll also provide general administrative support to keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes.

Key Responsibilities:
• Greeting parents, pupils, staff, and visitors in a professional and friendly manner.

• Answering incoming phone calls and emails, dealing with enquiries efficiently.

• Updating and maintaining school records and databases.

• Supporting with attendance records, letters, photocopying and filing.

• Assisting with general tasks to support the smooth running of the office and wider school.

• Using basic IT systems and learning school-specific software (full training provided).

What We're Looking For:
• A confident communicator with a friendly, positive attitude.

• Someone who is comfortable using a computer and happy to learn new systems.

• An enthusiastic team player who is reliable and eager to help others.

• A person who takes pride in their work and is keen to grow in a school environment.

• Previous admin experience is helpful but not essential – personality and enthusiasm are key.

Why Join This School?
• A supportive and welcoming team environment.

• A genuine opportunity to learn and grow professionally.

• Term-time hours – ideal for work/life balance.

• A chance to make a real difference in children's daily school experience.

Why Register with Protocol Education?
• Competitive weekly pay (PAYE – no umbrella companies).

• FREE continued professional development and training courses.

• Dedicated consultant to support you every step of the way.

• Access to flexible opportunities across schools in your area.

This role is ideal for someone looking to gain experience in a school setting, build their administrative skills, or explore a future career in education.

If you're ready to bring energy, warmth, and a willingness to learn – we'd love to hear from you.
